Windows 10 Adoption Surges, but Many Users Cling to Windows 7
Microsoft on Monday announced that its Windows 10 operating system is
now active on more than 200 million devices. Windows 10 adoption
accelerated at the end of 2015, with more than 40 percent of new devices
activated since Black Friday, said Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi. However, it
trails the more than decade-old Windows XP and Windows 8.1 in terms of
overall Web traffic, NetMarketShare reported.

Home Broadband Use Falls as Consumers Go Mobile
A recent Pew Research Center study found that adoption of traditional
high-speed Internet in the U.S. has fallen to 67 percent, the lowest
level since 2012. More consumers were using mobile phones, the study
found. Thirteen percent of respondents said they were smartphone-only
customers, compared with 8 percent in 2013. Fifteen percent said they
have cut the cord on cable and satellite TV.

Facebook Takes On Yelp, Angie's List
Facebook recently launched a service for members that provides
recommendations and ratings on shops and service providers, a move that
puts it in direct competition with Yelp. The tool provides star ratings
on local service providers, including doctors, veterinarians and event
planners. Users can leave references that detail their experiences with
merchants or service providers.
